Invest $60 for 2 pairs of the Bomba 15-20mmhg compression socks. One pair for going out and one for coming back. I've tried many socks and they are the best. I was perfectly healthy and did not wear socks on my return flight of 10 hours because the cheap ones I bought were uncomfortable. I ended up in the ICU for 5 days with clots in my leg and lungs. It cost me $12k after insurance. $60 is a great investment.
Tried many brands, Bombas are the best. Powerful personal story: skipped uncomfortable cheap socks on return flight, ended up in ICU with clots. Bombas are their go-to prevention now.
I love love love bombas compression socks. They're so soft and the compression is great. Best I've used by a lot.
Triple "love", soft material, great compression. Comparative: best they've used "by a lot" implies trying other brands.
Flight crew here, I love my Bombas. Great compression over a year of using them, and the material doesn't create that awful cold foot sweat that more polyester content tends to make.
Flight crew (heavy use context), loves them after a year, specifically praises material for not causing cold foot sweat vs polyester alternatives.
I got a pair from bombas that I like a lot (and am currently wearing) I also have a thinner pair made by 3M that I got at Walgreens and they were nice to have during a recent heat wave; still good compression but not a thick sock. I originally bought the socks for a flight but wear them in the evenings after I've been on my feet and I think they help with restless leg and also to keep swelling down. I'm 36 weeks and my feet are still recognizable 🤞 https://bombas.com/products/womens-compressio
At 36 weeks pregnant, wears daily and feet aren't swollen. Originally for flights but uses regularly. Helps with restless leg. Detailed personal outcome.
I've tried many brands and so far CLOVE socks work the best for me for medical grade 20-30 compression. They are seamless and don't irritate my sensory issues. For daily wear around the house I have BOMBAS light compression 15-20. They are cushioned, breathable, extremely comfortable, and made with cotton. I also like SOCKWELL made with merino wool, which is great for moisture wicking and year round wear. I need more recommendations too!
Uses Bombas specifically for daily light compression (15-20 mmHg). Notes cushioned, breathable, extremely comfortable, cotton material. Distinct use case from heavier compression.
Just wore Bombas on my 8 hour + 3 hour flights. Not disappointed, very comfortable.
Used on long flights (8+3 hours), comfortable, no disappointment. Direct recent experience.
Yes, my family has a history of DVT and I travel a lot so I make sure my socks are in place, be sure to buy good quality ones, some have designs and are cheap but the inside has the design like knots and you wind up with indents in your legs, I buy Bomba compression socks both cotton and wool,
Family DVT history drives consistent use. Buys Bombas in both cotton and wool. Contrasts with cheap brands that leave indents. Quality-focused endorsement.
